Royal Wedding Cakes in Kuwait

These cakes are just stunning. I’ve never seen anything like this come out of a bakery in my country and would be surprised if even the top-rated celebrity wedding cake bakers would attempt some of these designs.

They are made by Chef Omar Addihaoui and some serve up to 1000 guests. He works in Kuwait for Cafe Opera, a patisserie and cafe.
